Based on the animated film of the same name.

Terrible. Not even good in the slightest.

While I think that the film is one of Pixar's best works, the game itself is awful.

Combat...exists.

It's...fine...

Everything else?

Nope.

First of all, the checkpoint system is utterly horrendous.

I remember playing the Dash level where you are playing as the son with the power of super speed, and you have to get to school on time (I know, riveting storytelling).

And so, you are running very fast on the streets, cars and all, and getting hit?

Boom. Instant death.

And isn't Dash supposed to keep his powers hidden from the public because superheroes in the movie are outlawed?

They can't even be faithful to their own material...

And the platforming?

Horrible.

In the later levels, which you can just warp to with the password system by the way, have instant death hazards with little margin for error.

Combine this with a putrid checkpoint system, and you get a thoroughly unenjoyable experience where you must repeat everything from scratch.

You go through these difficulty spike sections all the way through until the end and make a mistake?

Too bad, do it all over again.

Licensed junk.
